Mr.Ramprasad Gaddipati​

We live in a global and dynamic world, where the walls have come down and the windows have opened up, as Thomas L. Friedman wrote in his book ‘The World Is Flat’. Our children need an education that enables them to face the challenges and opportunities of this world with confidence and competence.  

At Harvest, we make learning a way of life and a tradition. We nurture our children with academic excellence, holistic development, and innovative teaching methods. We foster creativity, collaboration, and a love for learning in our students. 

We create an environment where every student can dream, discover, and achieve their full potential. Our faculty members are dedicated to creating a conducive learning environment where each student can explore their interests, develop critical thinking, and acquire essential life skills. We seek parents who share our vision of holistic development and support our efforts. We instill ethical values and global awareness in our students that prepare them for an ever-evolving world. We truly believe that education goes beyond the classrooms. We take it to the world.
